Sigma BC 1909 STS Triple Wireless Bicycle Speedometer
The BC 1909 Triple wireless speedometer is for all fitness-minded cyclists who place particular emphasis on heart rate and calories. Includes 1 settable HR zone and temperature. Dynamic, sporty, and elegant, the Sigma BC 1909 STS triple wireless bike computer is ideal for fitness-minded cyclists who place a high emphasis on measuring heart rate and calories burned. The BC 1909 STS, which is adjustable to fit two wheel sizes, displays your current speed, average speed, and maximum speed.Dynamic, sporty, and elegant, the Sigma BC 1909 STS triple wireless bike computer is ideal for fitness-minded cyclists who place a high emphasis on measuring heart rate and calories burned. The BC 1909 STS, which is adjustable to fit two wheel sizes, displays your current speed, average speed, and maximum speed, so you'll have a good idea whether you're the tortoise or the hare on the bike trail. You can also compare your current and average speed on the same screen, or check the trip distance and total distance (the latter is only available after your ride). The computer even offers a programmable trip section counter, a roadbook that lets you create a back-and-forth itinerary.

The BC 1909 STS's HR functions include ECG-precise measurements of your actual, average, and maximum heart rate, along with a zone alarm that tells you when you're exceeding or falling below your target heart rate. In the process, the computer keeps track of your calories burned thus far. The BC 1909 STS also includes a number of time-specific functions, including a countdown timer that's perfect for racing against the clock; a stopwatch that keeps you sharp on intervals; a display for elapsed and total riding time (the latter is only available after your ride); and a time-keeping clock. And serious cyclists can opt to use the cadence functions (current and average), which help you ride efficiently both on the road and in the woods. You can also turn off the cadence functions while riding.

The BC 1909 STS is versatile in other ways, too, with the ability to automatically recognize a second bike. That means you can gauge the total distance and ride time of either or both bikes, a handy option for couples or friends who train together. Other features include a temperature display, seven language settings, a backlight, a battery status display, and a backup function that preserves your settings and info even when the battery dies. The PC-compatible BC 1909 STS is also available in a wired version.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

Very positive thus far....
My girlfriend and I each individually purchased the BC-1909 computer for our respective road bikes. We both wanted to have Speed, Cadence & HRM on one unit. We been on about 5 rides thus far and the units have performed as expected. We ride very close to each other and despite having the same exact computers, we have not had any cross talk issues -- the units simply do what they are designed to do. I installed both computers myself and installation was very straightfoward. The units look and feel high quality and the display is large, sharp and legible. Thus far, we have had zero issues with HRM monitoring on either computer. If I had to be critical I would make one primary observation -- the headunit isn't super snug when locked onto its mounting bracket. While is does make a clear and distinct click noise when twisted onto it bracket, it is still not as solid a connection as my old wired VDO unit. The end result is that if you are not careful, it is possible to accidently knock the...

Fantastic Little Computer, great interface.
I have used a number of bike computers including CatEye and Bontrager. This is a great midlevel computer, you've got all the bases covered: heart rate, cadence and of course, speed. It includes a number of nifty features to help you analyze your ride.

The display is simple, and has all the readings you would expect from a midlevel bike computer.

The wireless setup couldn't be easier, makes your life a whole lot simpler to set up the sensors. The sensors included can be attached using elastic bands or zip ties. The sensors are black and rather unobtrusive, although they can slip out of place if you use elastic bands instead of zip ties. Oddly enough, the cadence sensor is shaped somewhat like a shark fin, but the only logical way to mount it places it backwards, in a non-aero position. But who cares? Still looks fine.

The main display mounting bracket has space for zip ties as well as a one-time adhesive pad to keep the thing in place. I used this pad...
Nice, if you pay attention when you install it.
So, after reading some of the other reviews on this unit, I felt obligated to toss my own in. I picked this up with my shiny new Cannondale Synapse, and I have thusfar been pleased. The ONLY issue I've encountered has been with the speed sensor being on the rear wheel.. (I ride my bike on the trainer a lot currently, and wanted it on the rear wheel because of that) - I actually found that moving the speed sensor from the chain stay to directly next to the cadence sensor fixed that issue for me. I'd imagine if I had installed the sensor on the front fork (as most speed sensors are) that I wouldn't have any issues at all. The heart rate and cadence functions work just fine for me as well, and I haven't experienced them cutting out. All 3 of the sensors take maybe 5 -10 seconds of activity to sync up properly, but after that they're pretty solid.

As far as magnet distance, I've not had any problem with that at all, the only issues I had were with with the...

Great light --UPDATED 10-28-2012
**UPDATE 10-28-2012**
Unfortunately, two months later, I have to dock a star from this product. This bums me out but it seems people are reading my review and therefore I am compelled to report this followup. I'm docking a star because I have had both of my lights fall off for a total of three times while riding. My 350 hit hard enough to break half of the mounting rail/slot. Now, at first I chalked this up to my error (not snapping it into place) or perhaps my brake line was interfering with the dismount tab. BUT I recently spoke to a friend who bought a 350 on my recommendation and he says the same thing happened to him --coincidentally his fell off three times as well. We agreed that very bumpy asphalt roads (and one very hard brake in my case) were common to our experience and when you inspect the dismount tab, note how very little force is required to push it down for light removal. It's not unlikely that extreme bumps might have caused the release tab to shake just enough...
Bright, Secure, Great Multi-Mode, Compact and Good Value
The new Lumina 650 is very bright! it throws a well shaped cone of light, and the new handlebar mount design is very secure, stable and easily adjustable. This new design affixes securely to the handlebars and to the light unit with easy vertical adjustment and click stops for horizontal aiming. An integrated rubber shim also helps to snug up the mount to the handlebars.

The multi-mode switch design cycles through Low, Medium, and High, with each successive press of the illuminated Blue Button when the unit is on. A momentary hold shuts the unit off. Continuing to hold the button pressed (past the point the unit shuts off) activates Blink Mode. I never considered I would need nor use this feature. Nonetheless, it has become my most often used mode! The rapid (approx 5Hz) flashes are amazingly bright; easily seen hundreds of yards away even in bright daylight! As I run two (2) Lumina 650 units on my handlebars during the day in blink mode, the apparent flashes are much...

Sigma BC 2209 STS Triple Wireless + Alt Bicycle Speedometer
The BC 2209 Triple Wireless + altitude speedometer is a multifunction device for altitude, speed, heart rate, cadence and temperature. Thanks to the included wrist strap, the device can also be used as a hiking computer.Versatile and dynamic, the Sigma BC 2209 STS triple wireless bicycle/hiking computer cuts a fine figure on handlebars but also fits on your wrist for hikes and climbs. In its cycling configuration, the BC 2209 STS displays your current speed, average speed, and maximum speed, so you'll have a good idea whether you're the tortoise or the hare on the bike trail. You can also compare your current and average speed on the same screen, or check the trip distance and total distance (the latter is only available after your ride). The computer even offers a programmable trip section counter, a roadbook that lets you create a back-and-forth itinerary.

The BC 2209 STS's HR functions include ECG-precise measurements of your actual, average, and maximum heart rate, along with a zone alarm that tells you when you're exceeding or falling below your target heart rate.

And serious cyclists can opt to use the cadence functions (current and average), which help you ride efficiently both on the road and in the woods. You can also turn off the cadence functions while riding.

The BC 2209 STS is more than just a cycling computer. The device, which comes with a wrist strap, measures your current altitude, ascending/descending altitude, and the day's maximum altitude, giving climbers and hikers plenty of essential training data (the computer also calculates your uphill altitude on a bike). Additional hiking functions include hiking time, target time, and a current temperature display.

Rounding out the BC 2209's versatility is its ability to automatically recognize a second bike. That means you can gauge the total distance and ride time of either or both bikes, a handy option for couples or friends who train together. Other features include seven language settings, a backlight, a battery status display, and a backup function that preserves your settings and info even when the battery dies.

Good Cyclecomputer...but know a few things...
This just came in, so here are some first impressions.

1. I'm not fond of the sensor magnets, both on the speed sensor and the cadence sensor. The speed sensor on the wheel is a bit too bulky, it didn't slip past the flange on the sensor, I had to place it on a far spoke rather than a near one. The Cadence magnet is a kludgy solution, adhesive and a zip tie, a more refined solution would be preferred.

2. Pretty easy to set up, no complaints there. Rubber bands attachments are good and bad, fine for road bikes, not really useful for mountain bikes- use zip ties instead.

3. The ROX STS sensors work with this unit.

4. The ROX handle bar mount and USB docking station are NOT compatible with the Topline series, they use a different number of pins 4 vs 2.

5. The ROX models can record data from several rides, the BC-2209 can only store 1.

6. The proper USB docking station for the BC-2209 won't be out until the Data...

Sigma BC 2209 STS - not a bad computer but had issues and am returning
I purchased the Sigma BC 2209 STS Triple Wireless + Alt Bicycle Speedometer several weeks ago. At first glance it seems a relatively well made unit, and did not seem to be excessive in price.

This was my first investment in a decent bicycle computer and my primary criteria were 1) that it be wireless, 2) have a heart rate monitor, and 3) do cadence. I like riding hills, don't need a gps, and thought it would be fun having the altimeter. Everything else that comes with this is either standard (speed, avg. speed, max speed, trip distance, etc) or fluff (bicycle 1 & 2, temperature [which is nice, admittedly]).

As far as the different components go, most of the implementation of its being a wireless computer (#1 above) are pretty successful. It's a somewhat minimalist design that attaches to your bike either by rubber bands or plastic zip ties. I elected for zip ties b/c they're more sure than the rubber bands that come included (and used my own b/c they were a...
Love It
I bought this unit to replace my Garmin 305 Edge which broke without fail each year for three years, each time at a cost of $55 to fix. The Garmin provided a lot of information so I wanted something similar. I was very impressed with this unit from the get-go. I had no problem whatsoever with mounting the sensors. I mounted both the speed sensor and the cadence sensor on the chainstay (non-drivetrain side)and both worked fine, no tweaking necessary. I love that I can see the display VERY CLEARLY even in bright sunlight...the Garmin, not so much. It's a very simple unit and seems quite accurate in every respect except perhaps the KCAL. The Garmin registered about twice the calories burned for the same ride as this unit. I really can't say which unit is accurate, but I sure liked the reading on the Garmin much better. That aside, I can't say I'm disappointed that my Garmin finally flew off it's cheesy mount and down a hillside to it's ultimate demise. Word of caution though:...
